What is an Air Stage Office?

An Air Stage Office is a Post Office to or from which all mail must be airlifted for more than 6 months of every year as a viable surface transportation alternative is not available. These offices are generally confined to remote or isolated communities.

Note: An office designated an Air Stage Office is deemed to be Air Stage for the whole year.
